Chris Ryan is also cool. Most of the time. The two have great chemistry and the talent to both intellectually engage and be funny at the same time (though they sometimes may go for the latter sometimes a bit too much at the expense of the former). The topics covered tend to be the very best that TV and film currently have to offer; there are some unfortunate excursions into commercial pop music, which sadly tend to focus on the most popular music rather than the best, but luckily these rarely take more than 10-20% of the pod..
